1244 times. Are you sure you are human?

Pneuma stagecoach waiting room.

As Elio’s group, now numbering six, was waiting for the stagecoach, nine travelers gathered in front of the waiting room.

Judging from the state of his armament, he appeared to be either a mercenary or an adventurer.

The nine passengers saw Elio and his group in the waiting room and lingered outside.

They think it would be stuffy if they all go inside, so they just wait outside.

The capacity of the four-horse carriage is six people.

Since the carriages were different anyway, Elio and his group showed no interest in the travelers outside.

But the travelers outside were different.

Louis, the vice-leader of the Stan mercenaries, glanced at the waiting room and whispered to leader Angus.

“Looking at the small number, they seem to be adventurers heading to the Abyss.”

“It seem to be like that.”

The stagecoach from Pneuma to Adria was clearly either an adventurer or a mercenary.

However, he seemed calm for a mercenary, so there was a high probability that he was an adventurer.

Because mercenaries have scary eyes.

“It’s such a mixed bag, from women to old people, isn’t it? If I get an estimate while accompanying you, I start working right away. “I could make money by playing with that girl and then selling her.”

“Well, it’s not a small number, so keep an eye on it. In particular, you must check to see if there is a wizard.”

They say there are nine on this side, but there are also six on that side.

If there was a wizard over there, they would be the ones to see blood.

“Don’t worry. Where do you do business once or twice? There are no wizards. First of all, there is no one holding a cane, is there?”

“Your keen eye has improved a lot. Also, make sure you know what the level is. “If there’s a strong guy, you might need sleeping pills.”

“Is there any reason to use sleeping pills against such junk?”

At first glance, the adventurers in the waiting room looked like they were in trouble.

Adventurers of different attire, age, gender, etc. often gathered together for safety.

From Vice-Captain Louis’s perspective, the adventurers in the waiting room were exactly like that.

Louis, who was glancing around the waiting room, smiled when he made eye contact with a young man who looked shabby.

He was expressing that he had no hostility towards anyone, but the young man looked at him with a sad expression.

‘Is there such a bastard?’

For a moment, Louis was in tears, but it was not the right time, so he held back his anger.

After a while, two six-person carriages, a four-person carriage, and two wagons stopped in front of the waiting room.

Elio’s group, now numbering six, got into the lead six-seater carriage.

The nine Stan mercenaries headed toward the two carriages in the back.

After all the passengers in the waiting room had boarded, the five carriages lined up and ran south.

At dusk, the five carriages arrived at Torrance, the southernmost point of the Duchy of Topla.

Elio sighed deeply at the miserable sight of the city outside the window.

Half of the buildings in the city were half destroyed.

The farther south you go, the more broken buildings there were, as if they had been hit with a hammer the size of a house.

Meanwhile, the stagecoach ran between the familiar destroyed buildings.

After circling the road a few times, the carriage stopped in front of a broken down building.

When Elio and his group were hesitating whether they should get off or not, the coachman shouted towards the back.

“Arrived at the accommodation! “Get off!”

Only then did Elio and the others get off the carriage.

Passengers poured out of the two carriages at the back.

Transportation Manager Ryne Hyde walked into the half-destroyed building without hesitation.

After a while, he came back out and gestured to the fifteen passengers and said.

“Fortunately, it is open for business. “Let’s go in.”

After finishing what he had to say, he went back into the building.

Elio and his group, surprised to see the ruined city, followed him in silence.

As soon as we sat down, Fabian pointed to one of the collapsed walls.

“This is my first tavern with a view from the outside.”

Baron Howard Solon, who was sitting at the table next to him, shook his head and answered.

“They said we were at war, and it felt really real. I guess the front line isn’t far away. “I saw that the magic cannon flew all the way here.”

At that time, the clerk who came to take the order said.

“But you can rest assured that magic cannons won’t be fired in the evening. During the day, here and there you hear ‘Boom!’ pop!’ “I can hear the sound of magic cannons being fired.”

Fabian, who had served in the Northern Kingdom army for a long time, asked quietly.

“Can you just hear the sound? “Aren’t magic cannonballs flying?”

“It doesn’t fly this far. Then I can’t do business.”

“It won’t fly? What is that gaping wall over there? “Did the entire city’s buildings collapse alone due to poor construction?”

Fabian pointed to the collapsed wall overlooking the street.

“Ah, that happened when the Southern Kingdom army approached the city. Now our imperial army has driven them far away again. “I heard that they are fighting on Mild Plain, about 10 kilometers away from here.”

Baron Howard Solon asked curiously.

“I think we’ll have to evacuate further north at this rate, right? Are there any guests in this war zone?”

“Aren’t there guests like you going down to the Southern Kingdom?”

At the clerk’s words, Baron Howard Solon said, ‘Ah!’ He let out a short exclamation.

The clerk wrote down the orders of each customer on paper and then disappeared toward the kitchen.

Transport manager Ryne Hyde said as passengers anxiously glanced outside the collapsed wall.

“You don’t have to worry about artillery fire. As the clerk said, they don’t fire when the sun goes down. Moreover, the front line has already gone south, so magic cannonballs do not fly this far. If the lives of the passengers were at risk, the Empire would not have granted permission to transport it. Trust the Empire and the Stagecoach Association and rest in peace tonight.”

At that time, the mercenaries said something among themselves and said, ‘Waaah!’ and burst into laughter.

Fabian glanced at the mercenaries and muttered.

“As expected, they are mercenaries. “It’s not like you can avoid magical shells just because you’re a mercenary.”

Elio asked Fabian.

“You said mercenaries can also enter the Abyss, right?”

“yes. Only mercenaries and adventurers are allowed. Oh, porters are an exception. “Porters hired by mercenaries and adventurers can enter the Abyss.”

“Mr. Solon, we are not going to hire porters. Are you going to hire them?”

“If you would allow me, I would like to hire a few people. I heard that there are no accommodations or restaurants inside the Abyss. “If that’s true, then we have a lot of baggage to carry.”

“Either way. For your information, we will not be hiring.”

“What are you going to do with your luggage?” … .”

“We will take care of our work, so you don’t have to worry about it. “You know what I mean, right?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Baron Howard Solon’s face was full of regret.

It would be nice if we were a proper group, but I knew that we were only allowed to ‘accompany’.

What’s so good is that the mercenaries once again say, ‘Waaah!’ I burst out laughing.

The half-destroyed tavern and the laughter of the mercenaries harmonized strangely.

next day.

As I was finishing breakfast, I heard a loud voice from afar! pop!’ And there was the sound of a magic cannon being fired.

Fabian muttered as if he was talking to himself.

“It’s a little strange that you’re shooting magic cannons at people instead of monsters.”

Then Count Larva Omar smiled and said.

“That’s because you are not from the war generation. “When I was a little younger than you, the Imperial War broke out, and the sound of magic cannons was loud every morning and evening.”

“It feels really strange. “If Lord Lagoa hadn’t protected the North, the war wouldn’t have happened, right?”

“If that were the case, the Southern Kingdom would have fought against the demons with relics from the Dark Age.”

“It’s like eating porridge and giving it to a dog. Isn’t that so, Lord Lagoa?”

At that moment, a bitter smile spread across Elio’s lips.

I suddenly wondered what Manaptras and Shastra Parakti thought about humans.

In order to prevent chaos on the continent, they even brought in the humans of the underworld, but the people are actually waging war among themselves.

“Life is like that. “In this world, there are people who make money, and there are people who spend money.”

“Do you think that’s the right analogy right now?”

“You know what I’m talking about, right?”

“Yes, but Lord Lagoa’s parable… … .”

“shut up. “What more do you want?”

“Oh, yes.”

Fabian knew that Elio was not from this world, so he did not dig further.

Then it suddenly occurred to me and I asked.

“Lord Lagoa, are you still getting help from artifacts when you speak these days?”

“I don’t know. “Now, I don’t know if I can understand and talk, or if I can have a conversation because of the interpretation.”

“Try taking off the ring.”

“no.”

“why? Aren’t you curious about Lord Lagoa’s condition? Maybe you have mastered the continent’s common language in the meantime.”

“My brain isn’t that good. My wife wouldn’t know. “Not me.”

“Is Lord Lagoa’s wife smart?”

“Do you like it? My sister never forgets something she once heard or saw. “I don’t know, but I’m wiser than the gods, right?”

“Is anyone wiser than the gods?”

At that moment, not only Count Larva Omar but even Baron Howard Solon and his party paid attention to Elio.

A man wiser than the gods! How outrageous these words are.

However, since these were the words of Grand Master Count Elio Lagoa, I couldn’t help but believe them.

“That’s what it was. “I never thought there was such a person until I met you.”

“Are you sure you are human?”

Fabian’s question wasn’t meant to be a joke.

In this world, incarnated divine beings existed, such as Kama Devyas and Ushas Undra.

So it was not surprising that Count Elio Lagoa’s wife was such a person.

“It’s a person.”

“Can a man be superior to God?”

“Can’t you see Kama Devias and me?”

“ah! I asked a stupid question. So why does Lord Lagoa still use the artifact?”

Fabian couldn’t understand why Count Elio Lagoa, who defeated the sun god, relied on an interpreter ring.

“I would have told you. “I’m not smart enough to do that.”

“How could someone like that be at that age…?” … Can you become a grand, hum, hum, master?”

Fabian was conscious of the mercenaries in the tavern, so he lowered the voice of ‘Master’.

“It was an explosion of luck and talent.”

Elio recalled the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman Sutra that he found in a warehouse when he was young.

If it weren’t for that mirror, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Just then, a ‘pop!’ came from afar. The sound of a magic cannon was heard.

At the sound of a timely explosion, Crea, who is in the midst of her prime, shouts ‘Foot!’ He burst out laughing.

This is when passengers who have finished their meal sit quietly.

Transport manager Line Hyde, who had gone out, returned and spoke to the passengers.

“If you have anything to do, come see me now. Now, if you get on the carriage, it will drive non-stop to the border checkpoint. It’s unlikely, but even if one of the carriages gets hit by a magic cannon, the other carriages won’t stop.”

One of the mercenaries asked with a surprised expression.

“Are you saying I could get hit by a magic cannon?”

“That’s what it says. Neither the Empire nor the Southern Kingdoms are hostile to adventurers and mercenaries. Of course, a blind magical cannonball may occasionally fly in. So far, no carriage has been hit by a magic cannonball.”

That was true.

The Empire and Southern Kingdom did not fire magic cannons toward the road leading to the checkpoint.

This is because both sides needed adventurers and mercenaries.

As the passengers’ expressions became heavy, Rein Hyde clapped his hands to brighten the mood.

“now! Now it’s time to hop on the wagon! All you have to do is pass the border area. Even the Southern Kingdom is extremely peaceful far from the border.”

The mercenaries who had been laughing and chatting just a moment ago stood up with uneasy faces.
